I’m sure you saw this post coming – Christmas and makeup are two of my most favorite subjects, so it only makes sense to combine the two and write about it! Doing my makeup is honestly a therapeutic and relaxing experience for me, and I look forward to doing it every day. It puts me in a good mindset for the rest of the day and I just feel better when I have my “face” on. Today for the 12 Days of Kaelamas I’m showing you all my favorite makeup items to use around the holidays! Realistically, my makeup routine isn’t…

Sephora Play! November 2016
Today I have my Sephora Play box review for November, yay! This is coming a bit later than usual because I wanted to take individual photos of everything but it’s been getting dark so early 😐 so I decided to just use Christmas lights as my ambient lighting and roll with it haha November’s theme was Best in Glow, with items that are supposed to help you “bypass winter dullness”. Isn’t this month’s bag so cute? As always, the box comes with six products, a small bag, a card for 50 extra Beauty Insider points and a how-to info sheet. The…

My Disney Dooney & Bourke Collection
I mentioned back on the What’s in My Work Bag post my love for Disney Dooney & Bourke bags. I’ve grown quite a little collection over the past few years and I’m sure it will only grow in the future. I’m up to seven (!!!) at this point and I love them all – here’s the rundown on all my Disney Dooneys 🙂 My very first Disney Dooney & Bourke bag is from way back in January of 2014. This is the Disney Sketch Nylon Crossbody: I actually wanted to buy this on my college program but never got around to it. In…

Wednesday, April 20, 2016 After such an exciting first day, surely we would be taking it easy on day 2, right? WRONG!! Our first planned activity of the day was a HIKE!! We even had a little picnic and everything! When planning this vacation, I wanted to make sure that we did activities that both Chris and I would enjoy. Chris really likes the outdoors and nature,…

Target Beauty Box November 2016
This month’s Target Beauty Box arrived last week, and I’m just now getting a chance to write about it!! This month came with a bunch of great things including a few full size products. This box went on sale October 31, meaning I was still technically able to get it before my No Buy November started 😉 The Target box costs $7-10 each time – this month’s was $10. Just like last month, it came in this sleek black box containing 7 products, an info sheet, and a coupon. Here’s what I got this month: HASK Keratin Protein Smoothing Deep Conditioner –…

Today for the 12 Days of Kaelamas, I’ll show you all the fun things we did during the party – many photos ahead! 🙂 So the nice part about the party is that as a front desk cast member, I got a free ticket to go! On Tuesday we all got decked out in our best holiday gear and headed out to party!!! We got there around 4:30 – the party is from 7-midnight…

What I Bought at the VIB Sale + No Buy Check-In
It’s November 15th, which means it’s time for my No Buy November check in! Side note – can you believe we are already halfway through the month?! I’m happy to say that my no-buy is going…pretty well! I know, I know, the title of this post is kind of a contradiction in itself. But if you recall in my first post about No Buy November, I said I was going to allow myself to shop during the Sephora VIB sale. And I’m happy to say that aside from that sale, I haven’t purchased any other makeup or clothing, which are normally…

A Collection of Holiday Recipes
One of my favorite things to do during the holidays (….or any other time of year….) is eat! Today for the 12 Days of Kaelamas, I’ve compiled some fun recipes that I’ve made before or plan to try this year. I chose lots of comfort food or otherwise Christmasy recipes that are sure to warm you up on a cold* day. Don’t forget to put on a Christmas playlist while you’re cooking! *”Cold” being a relative term, since I do live in Florida, after all. Also, I’m using this as an opportunity to rave about the recipe organization app Paprika – I…

This is the first post in a series about our trip to Seattle and Disneyland in April 2016. All the posts about our trip will be listed here! This is Day 1. Our vacation to the west coast is something I wasn’t sure if I wanted to write about, just because it will probably take a long time to finish. But it’s definitely something I want to remember…so here we are! It was our first time to Seattle AND Disneyland, Chris’s first time on the west coast, and our first “big” vacation together! It was such an amazing time and I’m so excited to…
